Space Mission Operations Course (SMOC)

We provide professional training courses in space communication and related technical subjects.

The principal objective of the Space Missions Operations Course is to provide participants with a solid theoretical basis for the main activities in space mission operations, supported by practical exercises where possible to consolidate the learning experience. The course covers topics such as:
 

• Functions of space operations systems (and requirements, constraints) 
   
• Orbital mechanics and how it drives operational concept design
   
• Space missions communications network systems
   
• Satellite communications principles including analysis of the key parameters of system design
   
• Link budget calculations and trade-off issues with other aspects of mission design
   
• Mission planning and operations through the mission lifetime
   
• Operations approaches in ground and space segment
   
• System architecture from a data flow point of view
   
• Conventional commercial satellite operations, and emerging low cost approaches
   
• Telemetry and telecommanding in typical mission operations centres.
